Right you are, Brian. Saito now offers a C/L version of the .56, which weighs at least an ounce less than the R/C engine. I have heard reports that the factory C/L engines are not as powerful/flexible as the UHP-equipped engine, but I have no experience here. You might check the SH archives on this.
Based strictly on boxed kit weight, the RSM Shark, due to superior wood selection, should build at least 8 oz. lighter than the Jetco. Additional savings in glue will occur during construction, as the RSM kit has all full-size pieces (except the fuselage which must be spliced due to length) as opposed to the Jetco which frequently assembles a part from many small pieces.
